520    "For two centuries, presidents hoping to secure their 
       legacies have sought out biographers. But who could 
       possibly capture the inspiring yet bizarre reality of the 
       first black man to call the White House his crib, a tenure
       that brought hope, change, and health care to millions, 
       but also spawned birthers, backlash, and the bewildering 
       rise of Donald Trump? Thankfully, as the end of President 
       Barack Obama’s pioneering two terms in office drew near, 
       the First Lady had a stroke of genius: 'Honey, all these 
       presidential biographies are written by old white guys. 
       Why not hook a brother up for once?' Enter D.L. Hughley. 
       When the comedy legend got the call from the White House, 
       he knew this was the assignment of a lifetime. Of course 
       he would become a political biographer: what else could 
       his decades of experience bringing unflinching truth and 
       hilarity to the American people have been building toward?
       And so D.L. proudly raised his finger to “The System”* 
       and set out to record a true and accurate** oral history 
       of the Obama years, interviewing everyone from Obama’s 
       esteemed Democratic colleagues in Washington to Republican
       pols who dare not speak his name and segments of the 
       “conservative base” who have irrefutable proof that Obama
       is a Kenyan-born Muslim and Saddam Hussein’s second cousin
       thrice removed AND a Coldplay fan. Protected by the 
       Patriot Act and the promise of a presidential pardon, 
       Hughley bitch-slapped virtually every rule of journalism 
       in pursuit of his mission: hacking into Hillary Clinton’s 
       private e-mail server; infiltrating Trump’s tanning 
       sessions; staking out each of Mitt Romney’s 752 mansions; 
       even eavesdropping on Bill Clinton’s late-night escapades.
       At the end of it all, Hughley had bravely assembled an 
       explosive dossier that would make Edward Snowden (and even
       the NSA) blush. Black Man, White House is the culmination 
       of these extraordinary comedic efforts, an authoritative 
       work on the Obama presidency that is destined to enlighten
       and entertain patriots, scholars, and Yes-We-Can’ers for 
       generations to come.  (*The Dewey Decimal system.)  
       (**What, librarians? Go ahead and try to shelve this book 
       in fiction.)"--|cPublisher description.
